Girls names ending in EE-ah?!

95 replies

I'm trying to think of girls names with a similar sound to Lucia, Mia, Sophia.

I should say I'm keen the emphasis is on the EE-ah sound at the end - i.e. not names like Amelia, Olivia, where the emphasis is on other parts of the name? If that makes sense!

Essentially Loos-EE-ah and Sof-EE-ah,
rather than Ah-meal-ya and Oh-liv-ya, as I love those too but can't handle them in my local accent!

Any suggestions?

I’d argue that a lot of these names could be pronounced ee-ah or yah depending on where you are and how other people have heard the name previously.

I’d always pronounce Olivia and Amelia with the ee- a sound. But our family say Lydia with a yah sound at the end.

Leah
Niall

Niall should say Nia!

How about Fiadh, which is an Irish name, pronounce FEE-ah.

Saisong · 21/11/2020 09:37

My niece is Lia

Chilldonaldchill · 21/11/2020 09:39

Amalia? It's pronounced AM er LEE er.

HunkyPunk · 21/11/2020 10:07

Francia - pronounced fran- chee -ah

MikeUniformMike · 21/11/2020 10:33

The former POTUS's daughter is Malia pron. Mal-ee-a

festivebug · 21/11/2020 11:54

Amalia ends in ah sound, I also love it.

Anoisagusaris · 21/11/2020 12:00

Patricia ends in a sha sound.

GanderousGoose · 21/11/2020 12:49

Most of the names here don't meet the OP's criteria. Like a PP said, though - names with the emphasis on the EE sound aren't very common. I can only think of:
Alia (pronounced ah-LEE-ah)
Maria
Sophia
Lucia
Mia/Tia etc

MikeUniformMike · 21/11/2020 13:14

TeaSoakedDisasterMagnet, yes but they are o-LIV-ia or o-LIV-ee-a and a-MEE-lee-a not Oliv-EE-a and Amel-EE-a
